Communication is the foundation for all agreements and most disagreements. How we communicate will work for us, or against us.
When working for an employer, you can cement your role in the workplace as an effective communicator by learning one skill--STAY TO THE POINT!
People who lack the skill of staying to the point often loose the interest of those who are left scratching their heads, trying to figure out what the person is talking about. The wild meanderings of a person who can't stay on point is often viewed as a time waste, and detriment to the over all forward momentum of a business.
When seeking a job, take time to work on your communication skills. Learn to listen and then provide a concise, to the point response within a 2 minute time line. Learn, over a 6 to 7 minute time line, to present yourself by providing a clear opening, supporting points and conclusion. Keep your communications targeted on your occupational goal.
If a prospective employee does not clearly communicate to an interviewer, an interviewer will not take the applicant as seriously.
One other key point to consider in an inteview. A person who does not keep their goal in sight could easily find themself falling off their career path.
Effective communication comes as a result of knowing your "who, what, where, when, how, and most important--your WHY!"
